NIGHT STORIES

I said in an earlier post that I would write about an event in New York...it has now happened, and was as interesting and successful as I had hoped it would be.

Last summer, a painter named Linden Frederick asked fifteen writers to embark on a project wiht him. I was one of them. He gave each of us a preliminary study of a painting he had yet to complete, and we were each to write a short story based on the painting.

I was pleased to do so. But I found it surprisngly difficult at first. Linden's paintings (each of them them in a nighttime setting, hence the title of the project: NIGHT STORIES) are very evocative. It appears that something has just happened...or is about to happen. (Think: Edward Hopper.) But what? I looked at my painting for a long time and finally, eventually, a story began to appear. No, wait. Not a story, actually. But a situation. And a group of men...men in a small Maine coastal town...men past their prime, men who have regrets, men who don't articuate feelings.

This is most often the way any piece of fiction begins for me. With a person, or perhaps more than one. With vague feelings of unease, of soemthing that needs to be adjusted, fixed.

And so I created my story, which I titled VITAL SIGNS, and fourteen other writers: Dennis Lehane, Ann Patchett, Tess Gerritsen, Lawrence Kasdan, Louise Erdrich, Andre Dubus, Lily King, Richard Russo, Daniell Woodrell, Tom Talley, Elizabeth Strout, Anthony Doerr, Luanne Rice, and Joshua Ferris...created theirs. Last week, at the Forum Gallery in NYC, there was an opening that displayed the fifteen paintings (ecah 36" x 36")...and also shown was the beautiful book containing both the paintings and the stories. (It won't be available until October but can be re-ordered from Amazon)

It is the first such collaboration that I know of, and I am proud to be part of it.

And now I am turning my attention to other writing, to preparing for summer (I will move soon to my farm in western Maine, where flowers are blooming and my crabapple tree at the farm is bursting with blossoms and once again the porcupines are out there trying to destroy whatever they can. My son and grandson are there this wekend, cleaning the garage), to getting over a cold, to going next week to the Harvard Medical School "Last Lecture" where Howard will speak briefly.. His class at HMS sponsors this event each year, a final lecture at which the graduating new MDs will hear from an older doctor about the importance, in this age of science and technology, of remembering that the patient-doctor relationship is the thing to be valued and nurtured.

logical barriers. The world has never had a perfect company, there is no perfect personal, the key is to put people's attention on where. Is to pay attention to the advantages, or pay attention to shortcomings. Focusing on the different aspects of the Nike Football Boots problem often leads to different outcomes that produce different emotions for people. Look at the positive aspects of the problem, can produce optimistic emotions; see the negative aspects of the problem, it will produce pessimistic mood. But quite a lot of people can not help but choose pessimistic, so must learn to control their own attention to control their emotions. In the whole voyage of life, negative thinkers are seasick along the way, regardless of the situation in front of them, they Discount Nike Men Shoes are always disappointed with the future. In the eyes of negative thinkers, the glass is never half full, but half empty. They are expected to get the worst results in life, and the fact is true.﻿Success factors: ideas, beliefs, persistence, accumulation, failure 1; ideas Sometimes it is strange that human success actually comes from an instant idea or idea. This idea and thoughts are called ideas. Be careful to capture this idea and constantly improve it with sublimation it will help succeed. Air Jordan Fusion 8 2; Ideas are moments of thought or thought, and it is an inspiration. In the pursuit of success in the process, with some kind of inspiration is not enough, but also to establish goals, confidence, courage. In other words, with the idea is not enough, but also have faith, but also have extraordinary courage and courage, otherwise the idea can not be turned into a conscious pursuit of power, of course, not to mention success. 3; The pursuit of success is difficult, the need for inspiration, need to support, need perseverance. Or, only to insist on victory. Do not believe, please see the following story to give you a profound revelation. 4; In the journey to success, the process of persistence is often the accumulation process. Accumulation is a small step to increase, not a big step across. There is little success in the world a miracle, so the need to gradually accumulate, quantitative change can cause qualitative change. And, step by step to accumulate, can make people continue to get a sense of accomplishment, continue to be encouraged and motivated, continue to get the power to fight with the difficulties, and then unremittingly reached the other side of success. 5; failure The process of pursuing success is often not smooth sailing, in the journey of life struggle, failure often with people companions. But the strong is always not fail, and 'repeated defeated', and ultimately succeed. On the contrary, if someone is in a difficult way to retreat, a frustration was discouraged, easy to give up their pursuit, that his failure may be more.Success on the road is not crowded is the victory Do not obey when you are in the low trough, do not lose your mind, if you blindly see some of the so-called successful way to try, so the results are unpredictable. Success, in a sense is a psychological satisfaction, success is not difficult, the key to see how you understand the success? How did you plan to achieve success?

Feet may not be able to stick down, such as spiders. So there are not many creatures that can climb to the top of the pyramid. So it decided to keep up and down, because the success of the road is not crowded, adhere to the people are not many. First, the success of the road need to choose but will not choose many people Often because someone else said to him, this industry is good, the industry very profitable, so many people into the industry, or called into a company, began to engage in his own business, not knowing that this is not your own The will, you do not know how to choose. Success on the road, a large part of the followers were eliminated, as the industry passers-by. To be precise, this part of the people themselves out of their own. Second, the success of the need for guidance, but there are few mentors Many people do not succeed, do not know how to do, do not know what they are doing, because his life has not appeared in an important elegant, lack of a leading mentor to success.
